World's oldest noodles found -- in China

LONDON (Reuters) - Italians are known for them and theories suggest they may have originated in the Middle East but scientists said Wednesday the world's oldest known noodles, dating back 4,000 years, were made in China.

Houyuan Lu, of the Chinese Academy of Science in Beijing and his colleagues found the ancient noodles preserved in an overturned, sealed bowl at an archaeological site near the Yellow River in northwestern China.

"Our discovery indicates that noodles were first produced in China about 4,000 years ago," Lu said in an interview.

Until the discovery, reported in the science journal Nature, the oldest written account of noodles was in a book written during the East Han Dynasty in China sometime between 25 and 220.

I am on both of your sides. I like to see how other people cook. I have been told I am an excellent cook. I never really believed anyone until recently. I prefer to cook almost everything from scratch such as pies, fillings, cakes, icings, meringue, cookies, breads such as cornmeal, rolls, cinnamon rolls, ice cream and etc. I do it mainly for special occasions. I can't make that way everyday, or I would never get anything done. I spend too much time on here.

We had chili tonight, but it was from scratch. It didn't come out of a jar or can.

I could use a kick ass meatball receipe with the holidays coming up. If you get a chance between now and Christmas.
